    For years I have being hearing about Conway the domestic run scoring beast. Personally I don't care if other people were previously in front of him due to residential status and the politically right thing to do is follow protocol. If the guy is that good and has the most recent runs on the board, pick the best player. I am sure others have a different opinion? Am I wrong though? Is Young better?

      If guys like Young and Nicholls keep up their level Conway will have his chance soon enough

        Its not like we play tests that regularly as it is, I hope Young comes out and score a double ton as I have nothing against him, purely about just pick the best player if available

          They need to keep Conway involved, he looks the goods

            I like to think that once all the games in March got cancelled, he just went home and said to the missus... "well, cricket's done, let's get a-fuckin'".

              How do you know it was planned?

              Kane comes across as a player that would plan, how do we know it is Kane's baby? 🙂 now there is a story..

              Here's an interesting story about KW that many might not know. He has a twin brother. Granted our best batsman averages over 50 I'd happily have his twin slot in at 4, average a touch under 42, play with more flair but less concentration and potentially have an unhealthy interest in horse racing.

                I thought Southee was the VC but it must be Latham for the tests.

                Time for the rest of the top order to perform as they can't rely on Kane's runs.

                Rossco is due a massive score and it’s only the Windies. Calm the farm

                              What odds would this side be paying to win a test series in Australia right now? $5?

                              And in India? $5?

                              And Australia to win a test series in NZ right now? Even money favourites? Max $2 underdog? India in NZ maybe $3?

                              Let's be real here.

                                Anyone else having issues with Spark Sport today?

                                After 12 overs we are 43/1 at the first drinks break having been put in again.

                                Apparently the team bowling first at the Basin has won 6 of the last 7 tests with the other a draw. Blundell went for 14

                                  Unfathomable that they are not playing Conway in this test. He is 29, we aren’t talking about a young rookie here that needs to be eased into the test arena.

                                    23 overs in a session.

                                    My sympathy for the “bowers too tired to enforce a follow on” argument reduces each year along with the over rates...

                                      Anyone having trouble with the cricinfo website not working properly, or is it just me?

                                      Not a great first session 82/3 with both Latham and Rossco back in the hutch.

                                      Nichols needs a big one here IMO, feels like forever since he scored runs.

                                        Anyone having trouble with the cricinfo website not working properly, or is it just me?

                                        Didn't update for about the first hour over here.

                                          Unfathomable that they are not playing Conway in this test. He is 29, we aren’t talking about a young rookie here that needs to be eased into the test arena.

                                          Young's first class record has been very good over the last few years so you can understand why Stead has been loyal and chosen him ahead of Conway. Nicholls might be the player who Conway eventually replaces (leftie for leftie).
